Secure Data Sharing Ecosystem for Law Enforcement and Security Technology Development

digitalPilotedTRL 7

Imagine trying to train a smart security system but having no real-world examples to show it. This project builds a secure digital library where police and tech companies can safely share and label sensitive data without risking privacy. It acts like a trusted club with strict rules, ensuring everyone uses high-quality information to build better security tools.

The business problem

What needed solving

Security tech developers lack high-quality, domain-specific data to train and test their tools. This creates a bottleneck where innovation is slowed by legal risks and data scarcity.

The solution

What was built

A Reference Architecture and a TRL-7 implementation of a Research Data Ecosystem. It includes tools for data anonymization, synthesis, and watermarking.

Who can put this to work

Cybersecurity
SME
Target: AI-driven threat detection startup

If you are a startup dealing with a lack of real-world attack data to train your models — this project developed a Reference Architecture that provides a secure way to access high-quality datasets. This allows you to test your tools against verified security data while staying compliant with EU laws.

Public Safety
mid-size
Target: Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) software provider

If you are a software provider dealing with fragmented data across different agencies — this project developed a Research Data Ecosystem that standardizes how data is deposited and shared. This reduces the time spent on manual data cleaning and legal hurdles.

Data Management
any
Target: Privacy-preserving tech firm

If you are a tech firm dealing with the risk of leaking sensitive info during research — this project developed tools for anonymization and watermarking. This ensures that shared security data remains protected and traceable.
